I agree with those who point out that Iran has gotten a raw deal in recent history. The Persians are bright and creative, and Iran used to be one of the jewels of the middle east, along with Lebanon.
The legacy of Islam in general, both Shi'a and Sunni, is slavery, war, inhumanity, oppression and women's abuse. That said, while I would like nothing better than to see the Islamic loons thrown out on their rearward parts, I stand with those in Iran who are struggling for representative government, be it Islamic or secular. As for Ahmadinejad himself, he needs to be lowered slowly into this (http://www.influks.com/post2201.html).
